The Adapted Leisure Services section lists indoor and outdoor programs for people with disabilities. You’ll always find features in the beginning of Parktakes, and park locations, directions and class sites can be found on pages 10-15. Can’t find what you’re looking for?

Parkside Park Authority Implements New Weather Procedure In response to customer feedback, the Fairfax County Park Authority is changing its procedure for weather-related cancelations and closures. Rather than follow the public schools inclement weather schedule, the Park Authority is now following the county governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operating schedule in cases of inclement weather. This change recognizes that the unique challenges facing the public schools on inclement weather days are different from those facing the parks in providing recreational activities. Our goal with this change is to provide customers greater access to recreational facilities and classes whenever possible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even on snow days. Unless the county closes all county facilities, RECenters and other park facilities will remain open for general use and for classes on inclement weather days. If Park Authority facilities are open, scheduled rentals such as swim team practices, meets, weddings and birthday parties will continue as planned unless canceled by the customer or FCPA. For programs at non-Park Authority locations, other guidelines apply. For details about the Park Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new weather procedure and for the latest information on weather-related Park Authority closings or cancelations, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks or call our Inclement Weather Hotline: (703) 324-8661; TTY (703)-803-3354.

Karate

It’s Wednesday evening at Lee District RECenter and Andrea McElvaine has arrived with two of her three children, 7-year-old Alex and 5-year-old Evelyn. Rather than just watch them take part in a RECenter fitness class, she’s participating with them in Karate for Families. “I think it’s a good way to spend time doing something active together,” she said. Alex, now an orange-belt student, says taking the class was his dad’s idea. “My dad asked me if I wanted to do it with him and I thought it would be pretty fun and it is,” he said. It wasn’t long before Evelyn wanted to try it, too, and now the whole family, minus the youngest who is still too young to take the class, enjoys training and getting fit together. Karate is a martial art in which an attacker is defeated by kicks and punches. It is performed barefoot in loose, padded clothing with a colored belt indicating the level of skill, and it The McElvaine's train together in involves mental as well as physical training.

Four Amigos Reunite for Swimming Showdown You may remember the four childhood friends who reunited at Oak Marr RECenter last Sept. to see how close they could come to swimming the 100-yard medley relay in their still-standing 1963 record-setting time of 58.4 seconds. At that time, they raced the clock, finishing in 1:10.04 – just 12 seconds off the record, and challenged each other to

keep training. Their motivation – to race the current 11and 12-year-old boys 100-meter medley team at their old, home pool: Vienna Woods Swim Club. This July, the intrepid foursome reunited again at the Vienna Woods v. Dunn Loring swim meet. Collectively the senior swimmers were stronger and 30 lbs. lighter, and they grinned broadly as the announcer introduced the final race of the day between “the Vienna Woods 11and 12-year-old boys against the Vienna Woods 63- and 64-year-old boys,” while Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days” blared from the poolside speakers. This MayDec. race was close, and the veteran swimmers were astonished that so many young swimmers stayed after their regular meet to cheer them on. “We had no idea that was going to happen,” said senior backstroker Roger Russell who trains at Cub Run RECenter. “Swim team members hanging around like that after their meet is very unusual! It brought back so many memories, and the years just melted off. It was a really wonderful feeling.” Top: The Vienna Woods record-setting team in 1963. You could say both teams are winners. The boys finished first, while the elder swimmers Above: Good sportsmanship prevails as the four amigos today shaved seven seconds off their Oak Marr congratulate their competitors and counterparts after the race.

Healing Power of Exercise Helps Al Lamb Win Silver Five years after Al Lamb suffered a debilitating back injury that left him barely able to climb stairs, he achieved what would have been at that time an unimaginable goal. In September, Lamb competed in the Northern Virginia Senior Olympics and turned in a silver medal finish in the 5k walk. “I was very excited because I didn't think I had done well,” Lamb said. The story of Lamb’s recovery, “The Healing Power of Exercise,” was featured in Parktakes in Fall 2014. He credits a hospital senior strength training class and the fitness benefits of his subsequent membership at Lee District RECenter for helping him regain his mobility. Today, the 74-year-old Alexandria man is pain free and remains committed to working out six days per week. He also inspires other seniors to tap into the healing power of exercise by sharing his story at senior center speaking engagements.

Discovery Trail Leads to New Bikes! Cassandra K. of Clifton, Frank Zhao of Fairfax and Mikala Moffatt of Centreville each receive a bicycle and a safety helmet donated by Spokes, Inc. after their names were selected in the 2015 Fairfax County Park Authority Discovery Trail drawing in Sept. Nearly 250 children were entered in the drawing after visiting at least 8 of 12 featured Fairfax County Park Authority sites this summer. The Discovery Trail Map program was co-sponsored by the Fairfax County Park Foundation.

Go Deep with Hydro Pilates It’s the total-body workout that’s easy on the joints and big on benefits – Deep Water Hydro Pilates. The buoyancy of water reduces the “weight” of a person by about 90%, which means that the stress on weight-bearing joints, bones and muscles is similarly reduced. That’s why water exercise is perfect for those who find certain movements on land, such as running, striding, kicking, leaping and even dancing, too jarring or painful. Bente Waldron of Falls Church started taking the class at Providence RECenter three years ago. “I had weakness on my left side and balance issues,” she said. “Now, I exercise three times per week and am able to maintain my balance.” Mary Jane Medeiros of Falls Church has experienced similar benefits since she started taking the class one year ago. “My core has strengthened over the year, my balance has also improved, and I also pay attention to how I do things,” she said. “I’m a master gardener and I have to get up and down a lot.” “The testimonials go on and on, which is one of the major reasons it is such a joy to teach this class,” said certified Hydro-Pilates instructor Jill Arvantis. “My students tell me they feel better from head to toe and have more flexibility, better balance and increased stamina, endurance and strength.” Arvantis says Deep Water Hydro Pilates involves non-impact strengthening and stretching movements that require precise breathing and muscle control. Flotation belts and other flotation devices are used while Pilates exercises in the pool initiate all the core-muscle movements from the abdomen, lower back, hips, and buttocks and flow outward to the extremities. “Practicing Hydro-Pilates develops trunk stabilization, helps correct posture, enhances muscle strength and relieves stress,” she said. Aside from the obvious fitness benefits, students say one other thing they love about this class is the scheduling flexibility you get with the Aqua Flex Pass. “It’s so convenient to have,” Medeiros said, “and the front desk staff tells you how many classes you have on your pass each time you visit the RECenter.” Buy an Aqua Flex Pass now through Nov. 27, and save up to15%! Passes for 20 and 30 visits are on sale and can be purchased at all RECenters.

Aquatics

Aquatics The Fairfax County Park Authority’s aquatic facilities offer something for everyone. From infants to senior citizens to people with special needs, we serve all levels of swimming ability and aquatic interests. Monthly calendars listing pool hours are available at the Park Authority’s nine RECenters and online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/wp-recenter.htm.

Follow guidelines when registering

If it has been a month or longer since the student has participated in a swimming lesson, we suggest repeating the previous course completed. If you have any questions about which class is right for you or your child, please contact the aquatic staff at your favorite RECenter. For safety reasons and to ensure that customers get the maximum aquatic program benefits, the Park Authority reserves the right to remove students from an inappropriate class and either issue a refund or place them, when possible, in a class that better matches their ability level.

Practice and Repetition are keys to success

Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills, depending on a number of factors including class attendance, coordination, water familiarity and outside practice. Students often repeat a level several times before developing the endurance and skill proficiency necessary for advancement. Repeating a level does not constitute failure, it is to be expected. Mastering skills takes time, practice and patience.

Combining course levels

When enrollment is low, course levels may be combined to avoid class cancelations.

Practice Healthy Swimming Habits

Accidents in the pool involving vomit or fecal matter require the pool being closed to clean and sanitize the water. Under Health Department standards recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), accidents involving fecal matter now require longer pool closure. Prevention is far better than clean up, so please follow the CDC guidelines: • Children (and adults) who have had diarrhea in the last two weeks should not go swimming. • Be sure to use the bathroom before getting into the pool, go on frequent bathroom breaks. For public health reasons, standard diapers cannot be worn in the pool. Children who are not yet toilet trained must wear snug fitting plastic pants and/or a swim diaper under their bathing suit. Waist and legs on plastic pants or swim diapers must be snug enough to contain matter that could contaminate the pool. Please check diapers often, and change them in the locker room not on the pool deck. • Adults who have continence issues should refrain from using the pool. • Shower before entering the pool and after using the toilet. • Avoid swallowing pool water or even getting it in your mouth.

Register your preschooler. This class is designed for children and their parents(s) or other favorite adult(s) who want to learn water adjustment, basic swimming and safety skills in a fun environment. Two adults may participate with each child, but each child must have at least one adult. Children not toilet trained must wear thigh-fitting swim diapers and plastic pants. This class is designed especially for children who have limited group social experience and are reluctant to leave their parents. All teaching is done through the adult.

Karen Goetz, Northrop Grumman Playing in the park, rustling though the leaves along nature trails and splashing through the local stream in search of salamanders – these are some of the fondest memories of childhood for many people. But they’d be little more than a pipedream for hundreds of Fairfax County children if it weren’t for Northrop Grumman’s generous grant to the Meaningful Watershed Education Experience (MWEE) each year at Hidden Oaks Nature Center. “Northrop Grumman believes that we build a stronger community by supporting efforts that focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and foster a better understanding of our environment,” said corporate spokesperson Karen Goetz. The MWEE project engages fourth and seventh grade students in a hands-on, educational field trip that focuses on the importance of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The objective is to increase each student’s understanding about the causes and consequences of watershed pollution and to teach them how to be good stewards of natural resources. “Many of the students are from low-income families and have never visited a park or even planted anything before,” said Hidden Oaks assistant manager Suzanne Holland. “This program gives them direct, handson experience of engaging with the watershed and learning how they can make a difference in ensuring healthy ecosystems.”

With the MWEE experience, classroom lessons come to life as students experience what it takes to remove invasive plants and replace them with native plants to benefit birds and other wildlife. They see for themselves why a healthy watershed is important for species that live there. “Seeing a crayfish is a massive big deal to them, because they’ve never seen that before,” Holland said. And they learn that even an individual student can play an important role in maintaining a healthy environment by being better stewards of the watershed. “Thanks to Northrop Grumman’s generosity, the students get to work alongside environmental specialists, urban forestry experts and master naturalists, and they leave feeling good about the work they’ve done and the lessons they’ve learned,” Holland said. “The experience resonates and sticks with them, which could inspire their interest in an environmental science career.”

Northrop Grumman’s MWEE donation was made through the Fairfax County Park Foundation. To learn more about this program and to learn how you can make a difference, visit the Foundation website: www.fairfaxcountyparks.org

Pet Place

Pet Place Our dog obedience classes help build a strong relationship between pet and handler by developing understanding and communication. Flexible training methods are employed for home management, problem solving and correction. Please note: • Dogs that display fear or aggression are not permitted in Park Authority classes. • Bring a shot record with proof of DHLA rabies and parvovirus shots to the first class. • All dogs must be legally licensed, vaccinated, wearing a visible dog license and leashed when entering or leaving the class area. • Check with instructor at first class for proper leashes, collars and other equipment. • An adult must stay with child handler if student is younger than 16 or does not have own transportation. • All classes are held outdoors. • Register the handler, not the dog; one handler/ one dog per registration. Some classes may have supply fees so check class descriptions for details. Any supply fees are payable to instructor at first class and are non-refundable.

Off-Leash Dogs Welcome in Special Dog Parks

Owners of well-mannered canines can take their pets to fenced, off-leash dog parks for free play, a good run or a friendly romp with other dogs.

Dog Training One-on-One

Lake Accotink Park offers individualized dog training lessons taught by an instructor with more than 20 years of experience actively training dogs, training other people how to train dogs, and competing in dog sports. Sessions are customized to your dog’s level of behavioral development and tailored to your schedule. Includes a pre-session phone consultation with the instructor to determine your goals and to set a date and time for your first session. An excellent option for busy people who need more flexibility than weekly lessons can provide.
